After closing its doors at the end of last year, the rooftop of Trinity will be home to a restaurant and bar once again.
A stylish new rooftop bar and restaurant has just been announced for Trinity Leeds, replacing the coveted Angelica and Crafthouse site on the top floor.
Introducing 'CrowdedHouse', a new concept from the team behind Three's A Crowd that closed their Leeds restaurant in February but still runs successfully in Harrogate.
CrowdedHouse will be an all day, multi-use drinking and dining venue boasting incredible views of the city.

It will see a whopping £650,000 invested into the site with the creation of 50 new jobs in the city.
The space will be set across two floors, housing a capacity of up to 500 people.
John Quinlan, founder and owner, told Leeds Live: “The vision for CrowdedHouse is to deliver a versatile and multi-use venue for the people of Leeds, Yorkshire and beyond. The two-floor unit at Trinity Leeds is spectacular, boasting 360 degrees skyline views across the city and offering ample space for casual catch -ups, cocktails and dining through to those who require a stylish place to remotely work.

“The space will be designed so that guests can enjoy a variety of experiences in one venue. From meeting with friends or colleagues, celebrating a milestone, or simply enjoying time with family - CrowdedHouse will offer flexibility and understated luxury. I’m proud to be launching a bold new hospitality concept in the heart of Leeds and our investment reflects our belief in the city’s energy.”
Steven Foster, centre director from Trinity, Leeds, added: “We are delighted to be welcoming CrowedHouse to Trinity Leeds this summer. Taking over an iconic space - complete with a stunning roof terrace – they’ll bring a fresh new chapter for this location and an exciting burst of energy to the city. We’re confident CrowdedHouse will become a real must-visit destination throughout summer months and beyond."
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
